Dad Is Protesting Against Mum
Like most of the women at her age, my mum is willing to be the big boss at home and she is. She suggests everyone to do something or not to do. I would say they are more orders than suggestions because she shouts a lot. Sometimes dad cannot hear what mum says because he has been a little bit deaf for many years. I once asked dad why husbands fear of their wives, in a whisper. "For peace of the world，my daughter", dad answered, in a whisper.
After leading the one-member management committee for years, mum has become a dictator. While dad, it seems his sleeping consciousness of freedom has been aroused. Yesterday he went to the market without any hat to protest against mum's command on changing for another hat. I wish I won't become mum some day. But they all say we will become our parents, sooner or later. This is so sad. But , Dad, good job and congrats.

My Dad Protested Against My Mum
Like most women at her age, my mum is not only willing to be the Big Boss at home, but after wholeheartedly assuming the title, she truly is. She rarely has the slightest hesitation of telling everyone else either to do or not to do something, and having been on the receiving end of it myself, I would say they are definitely more like imperative sentences than suggestions because she also shouts a lot while doing so. Sometimes my dad cannot hear what my mum has said because he has been a little bit deaf for many years, but I also think it is a bit by choice—he selectively hears only the things that he chooses to hear. Realizing this, I once asked him why husbands do not simply stick up more for themselves.
Drawing closer and checking to make sure the coast was clear, dad answered in a conspiratorial whisper, “For peace in the world, my daughter.”
After leading the one-member management committee for years unopposed, my mum has become a ruthless dictator. Yet, my dad occasionally rebels whenever it seems his sleeping consciousness of freedom has been aroused. Like yesterday, he went to the market without any hat on at all in a brave, silent, but undeniable protest against mum's decree for him to wear a different hat. For better or for worse, they say that we all will eventually turn into our parents someday, but I sincerely hope that I will not mimic my mum’s behavior. That will be so sad if it turns out to be true. Regardless, until then, my real sympathies lay with the oppressed, so to my long-suffering father, I want to say, “Good job! And best wishes in fighting the good fight!”*
Hi, Kailin! Good job! As usual, “Whatever changes… . ”
*Personally, I found this to be one of your most amusing posts! Perhaps, because you used something you are very familiar with as the subject matter. Other than using “in a whisper” twice in the same sentence, I thought that this was a well-written and well-constructed piece. As to what you said to your father, I mean that more in praise for his act of individuality or integrity, or for his subversion of the system, than for its typical religious meaning.

和很多同龄人女性一样，我老妈想做家里的大boss，而且，她就是。她会建议大家做什么或者不做什么。但与其说是建议不如说是命令，因为她常常会吼你。有时，老爸听不见老妈在说什么，这些年，老爸耳朵有点聋。有次我低声问老爸为何老公都怕老婆。“孩子，为了时间和平”，老爸向我低语道。
领导一人管委会多年后，老妈变得有点独裁。而老爸，他沉睡多年的自由意识终于被唤醒。昨天老妈让他换顶帽子出门，结果他索性一顶帽子都没带就出去了，以示抗议。我希望以后自己不要成为老妈的样子。但是都说我们都会成为我们父母的样子，总有一天。真是忧桑（忧伤）。不过，老爸，好样的，恭喜你！
